EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Snuff Box dating back to the early 19th century. Crafted by Pierre-Andre Montauban, this exquisite piece is made of gold-mounted tortoiseshell, agate, and enamel. Measuring at 9.53x6.99x1.91 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The intricate decoration on this snuff box is truly remarkable. Adorned with ornate designs and delicate enamel work, it features a biblical scene depicting the Holy Family alongside shepherds from the nativity story. The presence of Virgin Mary holding a Bible adds an air of spirituality to this objet de vertu. The use of gold and agate further enhances its beauty and elegance while the elaborate tortoiseshell craftsmanship adds depth to its overall design. This decorative masterpiece serves as a testament to Montauban's exceptional skill as an artist during that era. Acquired as a gift from Howard F. Stirn, this snuff box holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It offers us a glimpse into the artistic traditions and religious themes prevalent during the early 19th century in France. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate not only the artistry but also the cultural context behind such magnificent creations from centuries past.
